— With five spots unconfirmed for the Royal Rumble, many are assuming there will be at least one surprise entrant in tonight’s match, although that had not been confirmed from sources.
Over the past few months, names like Booker T, Edge and Rob Van Dam have all been thrown out, but there has been no clear indication that any of the three is indeed booked for the show. And, as WWE likes to keep surprise entrants hidden from all but a select few employees, if there is a big surprise entrant, odds are strong that much of the WWE lockerroom will be caught just as off guard as fans.
For what it is worth, F4WOnline.com reports that as of this morning, there were key, unadvertised names from both brands unaware of their status for tonight’s match. That seems to imply that WWE had not yet ironed down the final 30, meaning that some active talent will be thrown in to fill a portion of the remaining five slots.
Despite not being confirmed, John Morrison has been talking up his potential participation for tonight, while Drew McIntyre also appears to be a likely candidate for the match.
